Feeling embarrassed to raise your arms... How to eliminate armpit odor without deodorant

 

Hair removal

Removing armpit hair is beneficial from a hygiene perspective. Armpit hair traps sweat and reduces airflow, creating an environment conducive to bacteria that cause odor to thrive. Shaving the hair with a razor or removing it with wax or creams allows sweat to be wiped away immediately and makes it difficult for bacteria to remain, thereby reducing odor to some extent. Laser hair removal further effectively reduces odor. The apocrine sweat glands in the armpits are located next to the hair follicles. When undergoing laser hair removal, the laser destroys the hair follicles and simultaneously destroys the surrounding apocrine glands.

If you sweat heavily or have a strong odor in your armpits, it is better to wear clothes made of natural materials such as cotton or linen that absorb sweat well and dry easily. However, tight-fitting clothes should be avoided. Tight clothes trap heat inside, preventing sweat from drying quickly, which promotes bacterial growth and causes unpleasant armpit odor.

To keep your armpits clean, avoid spicy, salty, and刺激 high-calorie foods. High-calorie foods increase the secretion of hormones that promote sweating. These foods are usually high in fat, and fat intake can intensify body odor, so it is advisable to limit the consumption of high-fat foods such as ▲meat ▲cheese ▲butter.

Washing the armpits with antibacterial soap or cleansing oil, or applying a 0.3% formalin diluted solution purchased at a pharmacy to the armpits, can help reduce odor. Another method is to spray powder, sweat odor eliminators, or deodorants on the armpit area after showering. For permanent effects, procedures such as ▲electromagnetic wave treatment to destroy sweat glands ▲surgery to remove sweat glands after skin incision ▲surgery to block the sympathetic nerves can be considered.
